EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of deforestation and burning in an indigenous area turned cattle pasture in Areoes, Mato Grosso state, Brazil. Taken on September 4,2019, the image showcases a desolate landscape where lush greenery once thrived. Now reduced to ashes and scorched earth, this scene serves as a haunting reminder of the destructive impact human activities can have on nature. The vast expanse of open space is now covered in arid grass and charred remnants. The horizon line stretches out into the distance under a clear sky, emphasizing the magnitude of destruction that has taken place. The air hangs heavy with smoke and ash, symbolizing not only environmental devastation but also potential health hazards for both humans and wildlife. In this creative use of photography by Lucas Landau, there are no people present to distract from the stark reality before us. Instead, we are left to contemplate how our actions contribute to such scenes of destruction. This photograph serves as a call to action against deforestation practices that destroy precious ecosystems worldwide. As we gaze upon this image, let it serve as a reminder that we must strive for sustainable solutions that protect our planet's natural resources rather than exploit them for short-term gains.
